School Cancellation Notification

HOW TO LEARN OF WEATHER-RELATED CHANGES TO THE SCHOOL SCHEDULE:

There are several ways DMPS notifies the community of weather-related cancellations, delays or early dismissals.

First, it’s easy to find out directly from the school district. If you use social media, be sure to follow our Twitter or Facebook pages. You can also download the DMPS Mobile App to receive notifications on your phone. We also post such announcements to the DMPS web site, on DMPS-TV (Mediacom channel 12.1 or 812), and with push notifications via the DMPS mobile app.

Second, we use our Infinite Campus automated message system. If you have an Infinite Campus account, please make sure your contact information is accurate. If you do not have an Infinite Campus account, your child’s school can help you set one up.

Finally, we notify our local media partners who normally share such announcements on-air or online. Weather-related announcements are provided to the Des Moines Register, KCCI-TV, WHO-TV, WOI-TV, KDSM-TV, KCWI-TV, and all local radio stations.
